It makes me laugh that people on there are claiming that Dave staff are spamming the boards with positive comments. Considering Dave themselves are doing it to gauge fan reaction, what would be the smegging point? Do these people expect that the Dave people think a Dwarfer who hated it would be swayed by seeing that someone else did?

The comments are almost all completely positive! Thats quite a suprise to me after some of the scathing posts i've read on here over the last few days.

I'll be honest after reading various online reviews plus above said posts/comments my heart pretty much sank around my ankles with relation to there ever being anymore dwarf but with even the possibility of this coming to fruition i'm back in a happy place.

please, thats not an accurate display of peoples likes/dislikes. I remember someone saying Dave deleted any negative comments about Red Dwarf from the chat. So hardly a good representative of the fans.

when i heard that there was to be a three part special i was at first over the moon, then i though 'Wait a minute, this could go down like a bacon roll at a bar mitzvah' i was impressed although i was a tad miffed that kochanski was only in it for a wee while. imo RD:back to earth has been a hugh hit and DAVE has tapped into a gold mine! if Taggart can run for 25 years without it getting boaring then i think that the small rouge one could go a bit longer.

I absolutely would love to see more. But at the end of these specials they finished on a brilliant conclusion, I'd be happy if they left it here.

They left a cliffhanger ending with Lister wanting to find Kotchanski, so I guess this is a loose end they could tie up. But really I think this was supposed to be left as one of those never-ending plots that leaves you with a feeling of hopeful optimism!

It's got to be done. Been reading some of the comments, and I just couldn't help but break into a great big grin while reading them. Red Dwarf looks like it is coming back, and coming back to stay. This is the relaunch of something big guys!

I think that the whole "I don't like new Red Dwarf so I don't want any more to be made, regardless of whether other people would enjoy them" stuff is weird and spiteful. New episodes can't hurt you, but they might entertain someone else. The only people who stand to lose anything are the investors and the creators.

+1 jmc2000, You basically beat me to that response mate.

I assume most of the people frequenting these forums are Dwarf fans like myself.
So whether you liked BTE or not would you not at least want to see for yourself if a new series would be any good?

Incidentally ive posted links to Dave's Red Dwarf Poll on all the other forums i frequent asking the Dwarf fans to help out getting a new series made.

Hmm, I am not signed onto Dave to message, but I can't help it is telling that it has 261 pages in 2 days!
I feel so much more confident about it's revival now.
From the viewings it has received, a new series could easily pay itself with those kinda viewing figures.
Seeing as they are non-terrestrial (and always will be), no doubt companies will be scrabbling for the chance to put Ads in the breaks, possibly sponsorship due to it's popularity (McVities digestives??).
Unfortunately the days of it being shown without breaks are gone...
At least the viewing figures show a full comeback being financially viable for Dave, I doubt they could refute that. Awesome!

I love RD to bits, but I wasn't hugely impressed with BTE to be honest, felt a little bit rushed to me and didn't flow too well. But if Dave gave em a reasonable budget, made the shows a bit longer and got Holly & Kochanski back in, I think a new 6-8 show series could work.
